Budapest Ferihegy International Airport is the international airport serving the Hungarian capital city of Budapest, and the largest of the country's five international airports. The airport offers international connections primarily within Europe, but also to Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America.Budapest Ferihegy International Airport is located 16 kilometers (10 miles) east-southeast of the centre of Budapest, accessible by the Ulloi road. The airport is named after master brewer Ferenc (Feri) Mayerffy, the former owner of the land upon which the facility is located.Ferihegy airport has three main terminals: 1, 2A and 2B, and a smaller one for general aviation flights. A new air cargo base is to be built. Transfer between terminals 2A and 2B can be made on foot. The older Terminal 1, however, is further away and must be reached by bus.

Terminal 1From 1 September 2005 Terminal 1 serves all low-cost carriers. The terminal was totally renovated in full compliance with the requirements of monument protection, since the building is one of the finest examples of architectural modernism in Hungary as well as in Europe. The Terminal 1 building is unusual in that it resembles the shape of an aircraft viewed from above.This terminal is divided by a glass wall into Schengen and Non-Schengen destinations.

Terminal 2BAlthough connected to Terminal 2A, it is referred to as a separate terminal (opened in December 1998). It serves all non-Schengen destinations.

Three car parks, all of which are open 24 hours a day, service the terminals. For very short stay parking (1 hour maximum), the car park nearest the terminal buildings charges €0.50 every 15 minutes. Short- and medium-term parking is offered in an unguarded car park. Here parking is free for the first 20 minutes, then €1.20 per hour for the first 4 hours, and €0.60 per hour after that. A guarded, long-term car park has fees of €14.40 per day and €77 per week, with somewhat lower rates for longer stays.
